They are distinctive individuals. Dhruv is a boy who loves to take chances in life. Harika is one who likes to make right choices in life. She is doing a Masters in Lifestyles Design Academy in Malaysia. Right now she is on her way to India to meet a prospective groom whom her parents have chosen for her.
